I got my Axe FX 3 a few days ago and right now I'm experimenting with different sounds and building my own Presets for the band. My goal is to be able to run 2 Guitars and 1 Bass.
Here's what I'm thinking: Guitar 1- Input 1 , Guitar 2- Input 2, Bass- Input 3
I'm a little confused as to how this might work. Input 2 has a Left + Right instead of just 1 jack. Does it matter which side my second guitar goes into, and does this whole Left/Right thing affect the signal compared to the straight forward single jack on Input 1? Same with the Bass on Input 3.
Now the other hurdle I want to figure out is this: Both guitars need a clean and dirty channel for our live show. I created two different scenes for those channels which I can change easily on my FC-12. But wouldn't me changing to clean then ALSO change my second guitar player to clean? How do I make it so that we can both switch between scenes independently within the same preset? Would he also need his own FC-12 or FC-6?
And the last thing. Regarding the Bass, I notice that you're only allowed to use 2 amps and 2 cabs within a preset. Clearly I don't want the bass going through the guitar amps so what's my work around for that? I'm thinking Just set up Input 3/Output 3 without using any amp/cab but utilizing some other blocks as well?
What do you guys think? I'm completely new to this unit and I'm coming from a traditional tube amp setup, so hopefully I'm explaining this right.
